WordPress CSV Imports with the WP All Import Plugin - Tutorial (Also works with XML)

[@thismoment57]

Well covered and explained. Just purchased the plugin and looking forward to putting it to good use!

[@neotropeusa]

Thanks. Going through the pre-sales research as we need to migrate 12 years of news items from our old in-house CMS to WordPress, and you guys have a great solution. :-)

[@Gineo212]

Can you please share how you create the additional post-categories on your panel (vehicle listings, staff, slideshow photos)?

[@moeinrahmani1395]

i got the same question

[@soflyyplugins]

This is done via third-party plugins.

[@oujisan]

how do i make {Price[1]} multiply by 1.15 and multiply by 1.06 (Price is cost and 1.15 is 15% VAT and 1.06 is my 6% profit) then have it roundup like on excell its roundup-2

[@soflyyplugins]

You can use a function for that: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/inline-php/

[@entrey_ua]

Thanks for the tutorial! Appreciate it.

[@soflyyplugins]

Glad you liked it!

[@NeilCheesman]

Hi - what can cause a -2/ (number adds each time if the product isn't deleted) but ONLY on about 20 products out of 1000.

[@soflyyplugins]

Hey, it can happen because there are existing records with the requested slug. If you want us to advise further, reach out via our support: www.wpallimport.com/support/

[@SiamHomeSource]

Great product worth every cent, thanks

[@raquelmoss7207]

Loving it, this is my absolute favourite WordPress plugin. Thanks for all your hard work guys, I hope that one day I can make something as useful :-)

[@soflyyplugins]

Glad you liked it!

[@schmekis1]

Is it just me, or is this phenomenally harder than an import needs to be.

[@grappler185]

It's just you.

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Totally agree: If he just started with an empty page and upload a csv to an empty page that would would make more sense to a beginner.

[@nicolasverdi1339]

Hi! in my case I don´t see the content, just the titles and dates. I exported the CSV from Hubspot.

[@johnnyxp64]

since i can't find an easy way to ask for a question please someone that knows answer me this: can this process be created once saved and then executed automatically on a scheduler type mode and only import new non existing products and update stock on existing ones? i am interested to import custom xml from a completely different website no wc to mine that is wc as part of an affiliate program with the other site. thanks

[@soflyyplugins]

Yes, this can be done. Reach out to us via support if you need assistance: www.wpallimport.com/support/

[@minionz5378]

if there is already a product - sku on the web then how to import it will ignore the sku already on the web

[@soflyyplugins]

You can use this snippet: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/code-snippets/#do-not-create-products-with-duplicate-sku

[@alexa.3084]

is there a easier way to import? after working hours on excel files, second hustle: drag & drop? Shouldn't it auto-detect all the fields on the file instead of doing it manually?

[@kkogkas]

There is not an automatic option when an event can have actually uncountable different options. If a field is being called EXACTLY like the respective in the WP database, that should be an option. But I have met a dozen of price fields (in the same node) and probably there are 1000s of different XML file setups out there multiplied by 1000s of clients wanting to do something in a different way. So, yeah, manually is the way to go.

[@soflyyplugins]

It does auto-detect if you go the migration or bundle route: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/how-to-migrate-woocommerce-and-wordpress-data/

[@chaupiamarighambi5859]

can i do this to add courses to my website as well?

[@soflyyplugins]

It may depend on how you store the courses, but it should be doable in general terms. Try it out here: www.wpallimport.com/try/. If you run into issues, reach out over at www.wpallimport.com/support/

[@कनिष्क-घ9थ]

can you make it simple and one click by adding a option - import all the content same as in xml file.

[@soflyyplugins]

Thanks for the recommendation!

[@fixbroken6874]

There is a file of 1000 products. I only need to download 200 from one category. How to set up Wp All import?

[@soflyyplugins]

You can use filters for that: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/filtering-with-xpath/

[@TevyaFiddlerOnline]

Is there a way to just import a Posts WXR XML file from the WordPress importer, as posts, the way the WP Importer used to do (now broken)? I tried and it wants me to map everything to the correct spot. Is there no default values to just import everything as would be expected from posts on another site?

[@soflyyplugins]

+Tevya Washburn - FS No, the whole point of WP All Import is that it's configurable. But if you have a WXR file, you should not use WP All Import, you should use the WordPress Importer. I doubt the WordPress Importer is entirely broken, and although we frequently hear about reliability problems with it, if you get paid help from someone I'd imagine they can get it/your server working properly without too much trouble.

[@kumbackquatsta]

how are featured images handled when importing csv to create pods?

[@soflyyplugins]

It should work with this option: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/image-options/#set-featured-image. If not, message us over at www.wpallimport.com/support/ and we'll help.

[@aystacy]

Thanks for the tutorial! I was able to add a database with ease! However, when I do a search of the database it creates a post for each individual item that pulls up in the results. I end up with several unnecessary posts. I'm using it for a genealogy site to search for ancestors only. Is there a way to keep the data into one post only? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

[@mrlhpmn]

[@christinab4953]

I'm confused.. this plugin seems like it only imports posts? My problem is that regular WP Importer isn't importing any pages - how can I do that with this?

[@soflyyplugins]

+Christina B It imports Pages too... you can choose Pages from the dropdown in Step 1. If you have a WXR file that will work with the regular WP Importer... you should NOT use WP All Import. You should get the default WP Importer working.

[@Guyper]

Do I always need to input info for SKU and the PRICE columns manually through editing after the import is done or can it be done on STEP 2 or STEP 3 page by dragging the SKU and the PRICE from the excel and put them in one of the empty spots? Because multiple products come with different sku number and prices

[@soflyyplugins]

You would do it as explained on the latter, this is done only one time. See: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/how-to-import-woocommerce-products/

[@bonidom1]

Why don’t the additional fields and images work for me, the image in the test works, but after import it doesn’t, why does it work so simple for you, but I don’t?

[@olvaddeepfake]

it won't work for me either. it detects the images when i do the test but the images aren't added to the post.

[@soflyyplugins]

Message us over at support www.wpallimport.com/support/ and we'll investigate further.

[@pagyutioper]

one thing missing about this plugin is that it has no export feature...say I want to move products from one store to the other, I can't use this plugin

Hi, is it possible to only import/update Yoast SEO fields using this plugin? I've tried a few times and it seems like you have to import title and content fields too despite not needing them.

[@soflyyplugins]

Yes, you can update that data. Please see this: www.wpallimport.com/documentation/manual-record-matching/

[@BlueteraMarketing]

Hello. I just purchased the Pro version with user addon. I am using a CSV file to import users. The file has a ID column set, but it is not properly mapping user IDs for new users. So instead of importing a user with ID 6542, it is using auto increment based off of how many users are already in the system and setting the user ID to something like 2 (or whatever the next available number might be. I can't seem to find an option to make this work the way I need it to. Can you please help asap? Thank you!

[@poglak79]

You can import products but cannot import Users and Orders with complete details. Is there any video tutorial or specific documentation on how to import orders and users? Thanks in advance.

[@soflyyplugins]

+Mario Paladin We're working on providing comprehensive order import functionality right now, and that will hopefully be available in the next month or so. You can already import users: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHbdcoqDeNyjqLM

[@poglak79]

+Soflyy Thanks for your response. I'm using wp import pro version 4.2.7 and I just noticed that even the short product description was not imported when I import the products. But the content was imported. Also when I was trying to import users, there was no Users in the dropdown list (such as Posts, Pages, Woocommerce Products etc). Is this because of the plugin version we are using? I'm a WordPress developer and my client just hand over the plugins along with exported zip files and I still have to ask them the access to submit a ticket in the support page.

[@soflyyplugins]

+Mario Paladin You don't need any special access to submit a support request. We have a team four support specialists who's jobs are specifically to help people out with their imports. You can reach them at www.wpallimport.com/support/ or by e-mailing [e-mail]

You are saying CSV imports but you are showing XML import ... why?

Sorry about that! I'll mention it to the content team.

[@michaeltheimmortal]

Is there anyway to turn a CSV file into a usable URL or do I have to convert the CSV to XML then convert the XML to a URL?

[@soflyyplugins]

+Michael Burney You can import both CSVs and XMLs from URLs. Just upload the CSV somewhere like Dropbox - then enter the URL to it in Step 1 of WP All Import.

[@ElyseDaniels]

Is there a basic how to guide or video on how to convert a Google Sheet into an xml file so I can use it on WP Import

[@soflyyplugins]

+Elyse Daniels You can export it to a CSV and then import that CSV with WP All Import: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHyXoKGratZqjqs

[@ElyseDaniels]

+Soflyy yes I have been using the CSV method but I would like to make it a XML instead.

[@soflyyplugins]

+Elyse Daniels Why? WP All Import behaves exactly the same way with CSV files as it does with XML files.

[@ElyseDaniels]

+Soflyy my problem is that I don't know how to make an xml sheet. It is probably something super basic but I can't see to find any how to guides on it?

[@soflyyplugins]

+Elyse Daniels Why do you want to make an XML from your Google Sheet? Importing a CSV file works EXACTLY the same way as importing an XML file.

every export/import plugin -. including yours was a PURE HORROR - - I have no idea WHY is so complicated to have an automized and simplified solution - instead of dragging multiple fields - one by one. - when I export ONE SINGLE POST with your plugin - I would expected to Import it again in a breeze ! But nooo, you have to do it manually, field by field. - am I missing something ?

[@kkogkas]

Excuse me, sir. But obviously the first time you have to make a "template" like [field X is the title, field Y the description, etc]. Next time, it has to be a piece of cake. You probably miss something.
